Part 1: What is MDM

MDM stands for Mobile Device Management and refers to the management of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops within an organization. MDM solutions enhance data security, ensure compliance with corporate policies and provide support for mobile devices. Key aspects include: device configuration, allowing IT administrators to remotely set up settings such as Wi-Fi, VPN, and email accounts; security enforcement, such as requiring strong passwords, enabling encryption, and remote wipe functionality for lost or stolen devices; and application management, compliance monitoring to ensure that devices adhere to organizational policies and regulatory requirements.

In short, MDM helps organizations manage the growing number of mobile devices used by their employees, ensuring that they are secure, compliant, and effective in supporting business operations.

If Mobile Device Management is enabled, you on Settings interface will find message: "The iPhone is supervised and managed by xx. Learn more about device supervision…"
